Iv just ripe the carpet out of my ek wagon and wanting to remove the seats how do you do this I can't see any kind of bolt holding them down?

Thanks

The front is held down by four bolts. See second bottom pic on this page http://www.fbekholden.com/forum/viewtop ... 6&start=45. You should be able to see two pairs of holes. Both are loacted under the seat. The front bolts on to an upside down 'U' that the seat 'foot' slots into. The rear is bolted directly to the seat.

The rear - my memory is a bit hazy here..I think the bottom bench should just lift out and the back folds down - or is the other way round? look for some hinges...

Thanks. Are the front bolts hard to get at?

Confused about the rear dad tried lifting it but wouldn't move

Front bolts aren't hard to get at at all, but the job can be made a little easier with two people.
The rear bench will just lift out and the back of the seat is then a simple lift out operation...as mentioned, held in place by a small hook/bracket type thingamajiggy from memory.
Simplest thing to get out of the car, once you figure out just which way to pull.

Wagon seats are hinged, undo the hinges pull seats out.
Front seat bolts are easiest to access with seat forward for rear bolts and seat back for front bolts, the front bolts hold a bracket that holds the front leg(?) of the seat rail down.

Stinky is right - EK wagon rear seats (both bolster and squab) are hinged. Fold both towards front of car (separalety) to get at hinges.

thanks i'll have a go today maybe if i get time

Doh...missed the fact that it was a wagon, and humbly stand corrected. Sounds like the hinge will be a simple operation also.
